English Ten period 2

Getting to Know Flannery O'Connor, the author of Greenleaf (our next short story). Today, we will explore a bit of the life of famed American Writer Flannery O'Connor. First, we will read a written biography of her.  Then, we will view one or two short videos of her.  Our purpose is to understand Flannery's motif's and themes that Flannery found in her writing, to learn about her writing style and her gift for dialect, and to learn why she is such a well-respected writer. Record what you learned on the Flannery O'Connor Reflective Journal document. .
2. Dont forget reading journals. If you did not get your graded journal back, use your own paper!
3. Vocabulary for "Greenleaf": uncouth, discrepancy; shiftless; tenant; initiative; sullen; surly; indolent; tactful; facade; jealous; entitlement; wallow; morbid
